1. Place the laser unit securely in the desired position.
2. Adjust the legs or mounting mechanism to ensure the unit is stable and aligned with the pipe's center line.
3. Use the built-in bubble level or digital display to achieve approximate leveling.

5. Betjeningsvejledning

5.1 Tænding og første opsætning

1. Tryk på MAGT button on the laser unit or remote control. The display will illuminate.
2. The unit will perform a self-leveling sequence. Wait for the laser beam to stabilize.
3. The display will show the current grade percentage.

5.2 Setting the Grade

1. Brug UP og NED arrow buttons on the control panel or remote to adjust the desired grade percentage. The display will update in real-time.
2. For precise adjustments, use the fine-tune mode if available (refer to the specific button on your unit, often labeled BØDE or +/-).
3. Once the desired grade is set, the laser will automatically adjust its beam to that slope.

5.3 Setting the Line (Horizontal Alignment)

1. Tryk på LINE button (or equivalent) to enter line adjustment mode.
2. Brug VENSTRE og HØJRE arrow buttons to pivot the laser beam horizontally.
3. Align the beam with your target point or reference line.
4. Tryk på ENTER or SÆT button to confirm the line setting.

5.4 Brug af fjernbetjeningen

The remote control allows for convenient adjustment of grade and line from a distance, especially useful inside pipes or trenches.

• Sørg for, at fjernbetjeningen har friske batterier.
• Point the remote control towards the front of the laser unit.
• Use the corresponding buttons on the remote for power, grade adjustment, and line adjustment.

6. Vedligeholdelse

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your TOPCON TP-L4B Pipe Laser.

6.1 Rengøring

• Ydre: Tør ydersiden af ​​enheden af ​​med en blød, damp klæde. Brug ikke skrappe kemikalier eller slibende rengøringsmidler.
• Laserblænde: Gently clean the laser emission window with a soft, lint-free cloth or a lens cleaning solution designed for optical instruments. Avoid scratching the surface.

6.2 Opbevaring

• Store the laser unit in its original carrying case when not in use to protect it from dust, moisture, and impact.
• Opbevares på et køligt, tørt sted, væk fra direkte sollys og ekstreme temperaturer.
• If storing for extended periods, remove the battery pack and store it separately, ensuring it is partially charged (not fully depleted or fully charged) to prolong battery life.
